    reading in a vehicle is not that good idea though it might cause eye problems. I think you can do it before bedtime to relax.

    Question Do your children like it?

    That's an interesting idea. Do your children like the "executive" level documents, reports and professional literature?

    Default Depends how old they are...

    I used to read my professional reading and classical literature to my newborn - at that age they just want to hear your voice. Once they're a little older, they tend to prefer fuzzy bunnies and board books for some reason...

    When could a busy executive do his reading: business books and magazines to develop the business, techniques and approaches? Does it worth it at all?

    PS I do my personal reading during my commute as I have a personal driver.
    you sound exhausted, as if your environment has a tight grip on your movement.and .you have very little options to find the time to enjoy a soft piano piece of music.

    david's methodology is a god send for people like us.
    chuk every engagement for a week and read his book on a beach.
    just do it......dont think......just do it........
    if you dont like the answer, change the question.
